Bringing up a panda board is a bit different than a Tegra machine. With the pandas we will be building our own Android OS and we will be only doing that once in a while (when a new version is released). This page contains the information on how to build that image and flash a first image to a panda as well as how to re-use that image to flash additional pandas (w/o going through the build process). | Bringing up a panda board is a bit different than a Tegra machine.

== Using Linaro Pre-Built Images (WHAT WE ARE USING == | |||
* [http://releases.linaro.org/12.05/android/leb-panda/panda-ics-gcc47-tilt-tracking-blob.img.gz Download image] from http://releases.linaro.org/12.05/android/leb-panda/ | |||
* Write to SD card | |||
* Mount SD card on computer | |||
* Download and run [http://releases.linaro.org/12.05/android/leb-panda/install-binaries.sh install-binaries.sh script] to install graphics drivers to SD card | |||
* Locate boot partition on SD card, modify boot.txt (u-boot script) line to read: | |||
<pre> | |||
setenv initrd_high "0xffffffff" | |||
setenv fdt_high "0xffffffff" | |||
setenv bootargs "console=ttyO2,115200n8 rootwait ro earlyprintk fixrtc nocompcache vram=48M omapfb.vram=0:24M,1:24M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 init=/init androidboot.console=ttyO2 omapdss.def_disp=dvi omapdss.hdmimode=0 omapdss.mode=dvi:640x480MR-24@60 consoleblank=0" | |||
setenv bootandroid "echo Booting Android from SDcard; fatload mmc 0:1 0x80200000 uImage; fatload mmc 0:1 0x81600000 uInitrd; bootm 0x80200000 0x81600000" | |||
setenv bootpxefirst "echo Launching PXE boot... ; if usb start; then set autoload no; bootp; setenv serverip 10.12.48.27; if pxe get; then pxe boot; else run bootandroid; fi; fi" | |||
run bootpxefirst | |||
</pre> | |||
NOTE: to build the boot.scr without pxebooting, change 'run bootpxefirst' to 'run bootandroid'. This can be helpful for images being debugged or developed on since the pxeboot step adds a couple minutes to the boot time. | |||
* Still in boot partition, regenerate boot.scr: | |||
** mkimage -A arm -T script -O linux -C none -a 0 -e 0 -n "boot.scr" -d boot.txt boot.scr | |||
* Put SD card in pandaboard and boot it | |||
* adb shell date $(date +%s) | |||
* Fix DHCP on eth0 by loading Settings app on device, click "Ethernet Configuration" under "Wireless & Networks", click "Ethernet Configuration", then click on the list under "Ethernet Devices" and select "eth0". Click "Save". | |||
* Replace su command (from adb shell): | |||
** wget people.mozilla.com/~wlachance/su # https://github.com/wlach/orangutan/blob/master/su.c | |||
** adb remount # this is the same as: mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system | |||
** adb shell cp /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/su.old | |||
** adb push su /system/xbin/su | |||
** adb shell chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su | |||
** adb reboot | |||
* To get rid of annoying live wallpaper, install http://code.google.com/p/black-npe-live-wallpaper/ (wallpaper images fail due to not enough gfx memory) | |||
* Install SUTAgent and Watcher (http://people.mozilla.org/~jmaher/sutagent/) | |||
* Start watcher by hand: | |||
** adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.mozilla.watcher/.WatcherMain | |||
